Daily News | Philly officials say a pro sports team paid big to boost Jeff Brown for mayor. The Sixers have ties to that super PAC.
Jeff Brown illegally coordinated with a political action committee
Whether the next mayor will support the 76ers’ proposal to build a new arena at 10th and Market Streets will likely be pivotal in deciding if the high-profile and controversial project becomes a reality.
For A Better Philadelphia, which has raised more than $3 million to boost Brown, is hiding the identities of the people funding its operations by passing almost all of its money through a nonprofit that shares the same name but, because of a loophole, is not required to disclose its donors.Everyone else who could confirm or deny whether the 76ers are the team that donated to the super PAC is also keeping their lips sealed.
And the team and its development arm did not respond to requests asking them to confirm or deny that the 76ers donated to the group backing Brown. A lawyer for the groups denied the ethics board’s allegations in a hearing Monday, and Common Pleas Court Judge Joshua Roberts issued an order temporarily blocking it from making further expenditures related to the mayor’s race while setting an April 24 hearing to make a final decision on the matter.
